Under his directions It was carefully

his specimen with other scientists, and
it was finally placed In thu hands of Prof.

General Sheridan, In a communication
to the military committeu of the Houeof
Keprcscntatlves, urges tho necessity for
the construction of two military posts on
the Yellow Stone river, one at the mouth
of the Mg Horn river and the other at or
near the mouth of Tongue river. Gen,
Sheridan says the Mack Hills country,
within a few year will bo crowded with
towns and villages, and that railroad
connections between It and the States
will bo established. He asserts that tho
gold-bearing regions are at tho head wa
ters of Wind river; on tho Owl creek
mountains, on Powder river and Clark's
fork of the Yellowstone ; that the Mack
Hills have abundance of good timber for
thu treeless country south of them, and
that the success of all their iiitcru.-ts de

ports named. Gen. Sheridan estimates
the cost of the construction of these two
military posts ut one hundred thousand
dollars apiece.

Mrs. Blackburn, the wretched wife
brought her baby lo plead for her. It
was one 'ol thu few cold itormy nights

points of the story a tew weeks ago. but
did not say how her hush iml was impli
cated. Blackburn did not understand,
and Jokingly promised to apprise her of
any ploN agaln-t her husband.
